Pull rope help

[muthey]

here's some help for your pull start this one is off of a ytm 200k, but other than the decompression system in the bottom it is the same as the dx, and will work on a dx, or dr. Make note of one point I say in it about greasing the rope after putting it in, this trick will give your rope a longer life span by far and reducing wear on the housing, also I point out areas of where to grease , so your pull is easier, and I describe how tight to go with the tightening nut. If you want I can do a complete tear down of a dx/dr pull start to show you on your exact housing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBhtlWumtlI
On a side not I actually used the pull start in the video for quite awhile on my 200k project trike with no problems till I got a great deal on a 225 pull start and then sold the 200 one for cheap.

thanks for the info muthey, i never thought about greasing it up. i was just riding my dx a couple mins ago and for some reason the 3 out of 6 bolts decided to fall out (the ones that hold the recoil), i was so MAD! lol but i still had the other bolts in it, but how did they just fall out? everytime i mess with the recoil i make sure them bolts are tight as they can go. and my shoelace string broke, the throttle stuck on me and made me go straight back and i tried to put it in neutral but i couldnt and it stalled and then i was polling on the string (normally) to get it started and the string broke next time i go into town im getting some things to fix it

Just remember those screws are metric, and maybe buy some med grade thread locker so it they can come out but not fall out I would also check that the threads aren't toast when you put the new screws in. did your old screws have the lock washers on them, cause you will want them on the new screws.

Hi muthey they were brand new only a couple days old. I guess I should have put those lock washers on them, and the new ones were metric. Thanks for the tips will use them. Also I'm pretty sure the threads are good ill have to look at then tomorrow extra good.

I don't know about that lock tight tho, because for some reason my strings are always breaking an have to keep taking it off to put new string in, tomorrow I'm gonna get my grease gun out and grease that string too

[muthey]

medium grade locktight is actually pretty easy to get screws out with, but would help keep them in there, but if you weren't using the lock washer use them instead.

I would get the battery, and fix up that recoil. Always nice to have a backup! Sonds like its also time to clean up the carb a lube the throttle cable. Good luck!
